How to Blade Shear (hand shear) - Merino ewe

This is a video I recorded to help a couple of people I am teaching to blade shear. this is how I blade shear merinos commercially. I know it's not a perfect job it's a shed job. It's also not a particularly tough or wrinkley merino but hopefully it gives a reasonable idea of how to do it.

That looks so cool. I would be really nervous doing that without an instructor present, but I appreciate the skill here.

I tried this, uninstructed, with a not-so-nice pair of shears: I was TERRIFIED. The ram took a snooze in my lap, though. I switched to electric, but it was more important learning proper holds and how to keep the skin stretched flat, no wrinkles

[@grantwallace8847]

Any tips you could give on how to keep the blades down on the skin but not cut skin. Sort of with machines keep the bottom tooth down. I guess you just gotta do it. Any tips welcome tia

Lead in with the bottom point but push the top blade down flat against the skin to close. I will try to do a video on it in the near future.
